GRID
The photographs are two image ratios (different cameras), which was a complex challenge for my usual approach of basing the grid on the common geometrics of a universal, uncropped image. The solution was to allow the (single page, larger, uncropped) images to push to the outside of the page, defining the outer edges (top, side, bottom). Then where the two different widths, fell into the center of the spread, a common grid (16 columns) was defined. Click on the grids below to enlarge.
